Book Eli!

Eli was super professional, organized and easy to work with. From the second we booked him, I wasn't apprehensive one bit about booking him for our party due to his excellent communication and professionalism. He took time to read the crowd and interacted with all of our guests. We will definitely book him for more of our upcoming events!
Thanks, Eli!

Betsy,

Thank you so much for taking the extra time to leave your thoughts. I love hearing the feedback. Thank you for trusting me with your group. It’s not a responsibility I take light lightly and I’m so grateful for the opportunity to have been able to play even a small part to such a beautiful event.

Until next time,

Eli

Jaw-Dropping

Eli was a gentleman who stunned the most skeptic of guests. We asked him to do walk-around entertainment during our cocktail hour for our annual party. We’ve had quite a few mentalists/magicians do this over the years, but I believe Eli was likely the best we’ve had yet. I was a little nervous booking through GigSalad, but Eli was amazing, totally communicative and available from the booking until the end of the event.

Jill,

Thank you so much for the opportunity and the kind words. Between the venue, the mime, live music in every room, the food, the guests, and every other individual piece, it was truly a night to remember. I'm so glad that I was able to play even a small role in such an amazing evening.

Until next time,
Eli

Simply Amazing!!!

From the very beginning Eli was very professional he asked a lot of question to determine what kind of event it was to customize his routine to fit the audience. After understanding our needs is only when he sent a proposal, which I truly appreciated, because many people just give you an amount without understanding what you are looking to accomplish. He followed up on regular to see if I wanted to add or edit anything.
Everyone at the event enjoyed Eli performance. All of the audience with fully engaged and amazed at Eli's mind reading. Even after the event people had nothing but positive feedback. Awesome event! Thank you Eli for making our event a success!

Eli Morgan is a Great Entertainer!

Eli Morgan did an amazing job performing as a mentalist/strolling magician for us once again, this year. The YMCA I work at has hired Eli five times, to be part of our entertainment team at our Annual Gala and Silent Auction Fundraiser, bringing new material each year. Without fail, I receive emails after our events, requesting Eli's contact information, which I happily provide, without reservation. Eli does not disappoint!

What to expect

Q. What are the advantages to having Magic and Mentalism at my event?
A. An easy going atmosphere! Sometimes, corporate events, Christmas parties, or group gatherings can be dull and awkward until people get to know each other. What Eli does is lightens the atmosphere of the event and creates an environment of fun, laughter, and amazement for everyone involved.

Eli is accommodating and will do whatever he can to make your event a success! If you have any questions, suggestions, ideas, favors, etc, DO NO HESITATE to ask!
Eli's number one goal is to make hiring an entertainer a fun, easy, and rewarding experience for you!

About

The Question every event planner struggles with: How do I make my next event fun, exciting, and memorable?
Eli Morgan is the answer to that question!

Eli Morgan is a Mentalist and Magician who blends both arts to create a unique experience for his audiences!
Think you've seen it all? Think again! This is like no show you have seen before.
If you are looking for an entertainer that is different, unique, and engaging for your clients, that will have your audiences talking afterwards; keep reading. Find out why the best event planners, top hotels, companies both local and abroad, cutting edge corporations, colleges, and private vendors are hiring Eli Morgan for their entertainment needs!
Eli uses the five known senses, social and behavioral psychology, suggestion, and a bit of magic to create the illusion of a sixth sense; enabling him to entertain in a way that is both unique to him, and other performers in this field. This fusion of mentalism and magic is what makes Eli's show different from anyone you may have seen or heard of before! Eli is not just a mentalist or magician, but an Agent of Awe- creating an environment of wonder and mystery!
You have heard of people that are seemingly able to read minds, persuade behavior, and predict choices... Eli Morgan is one of those people!

So what types of shows does Eli Perform?

Eli performs 2 different types of shows, both of which offer something unique for you.
Comedy Stage Magic and Mentalism

Eli's comedy magic is a culmination of comedy, illusion, audience participation, music, and stunts that is sure to astonish and amaze your crowd. Eli takes the members of your audience and brings them into the spotlight, making THEM the stars! Having your guests be part of the show is sure to create vivid, lasting memories of not only the performance, but the event itself, creating lasting impressions for the future! Eli performs both on stage, and close up in walk around/cocktail type settings, one or both of which would take your event to the next level!
Take note: There are no doves, rabbits, top hats or any other magic relics of the past. This is not your typical magic show, but a sleek, modern adaptation that will entertain and impress even the most "magic phobic" members of the audience.

Mentalism

The mystery half of the "magic & mystery" is found here; better known as a Mentalism show. Mentalism is a more refined sect of magic, also called Psychic entertainment. Eli will read minds, influence the audiences behavior, and predict their choices throughout the show!
But how is this possible? Quite simply it isn't... which is what will have you and your guests scratching their heads as Eli deciphers pin codes, memories from the past, names of loved ones, and more.
Eli makes no supernatural claims, accomplishing these feats using natural means through a fusion of the five senses, psychology, schema recognition, and a bit of magic, creating the illusion of a sixth sense. The show is lighthearted and all in good fun, leaving even the most skeptic of audiences full of wonder and amazement.

Who Does He perform for?

Eli Performs for hotel chains, colleges, corporate functions, Christmas/holiday parties, private events, trade shows, schools, churches, and companies both local and abroad. Eli's magic and mentalism are well suited for high class black tie events as well as more casual settings such as holiday/celebratory parties. If you are planning an event that you want to be fun and memorable, Eli's unique and modern style is the key to making that happen. While Eli can adapt his show to fit most to all situations and settings, he specializes in corporate work, typically entertaining more up scale events/parties. Eli has been given the opportunity to perform for clients throughout the country, and also extending his reach to the Caribbean, Europe, and South Africa. He is the premier Comedy Magician and Mentalist in Pennsylvania, Maryland, Delaware, and all the way up the east coast. Despite Eli's expansive reach, he is also a local performer, entertaining the Harrisburg/Philadelphia areas and surrounding major cities regularly!

Questions you may be asking:

Q. What are the advantages to having Comedy Magic and/or Mentalism at my event?

A. An easy going atmosphere! Sometimes, corporate events, Christmas parties, or group gatherings can be dull and awkward until people get to know each other. What Eli does is lightens the atmosphere of the event and creates an environment of fun, laughter, and amazement for everyone involved. Eli's calm and relatable persona allows his audiences to lower their guard with not only him, but also each other; making any event more enjoyable and memorable!

Q. Is Eli Morgan right for High Class Corporate Events/Parties?

A. Yes!!! In Fact, Eli' performs in a suit at all shows, and a tux for more formal, black tie events. His style of performing, whether on the stage or close up, is deal for the Corporate Environment. The power of corporate entertainment is TEAM BUILDING! Corporate team-building is becoming more vital every day. Having a synchronized team is paramount to the success of a business. Corporate entertainment by Eli Morgan is one way of building your team through a fun and interactive experience that not only entertains them, but stimulates their imagination. When your audience becomes a team, the positive and profitable effects last well after Eli's performance ends.

Q. Are Eli's performances right for church/religious events?

A. Yes! In fact, Eli performs for church gathering, Bar/Bat Mitzvahs, and young adult retreats regularly! Both his comedy magic show and mentalism shows are perfectly appropriate, clean, and fun!

Q. What the heck is Mentalism?

A. Mentalism and Magic are very similar; however, instead of using objects like cards, pens, watches, Eli uses information in the mind. Eli does NOT claim to have any genuine psychic ability, however, he uses key tools such as muscle reading, body language, psychology, and common humanistic patterns to seemingly be able to pluck a mere thought out of the minds of your audience. Unlike most boring mentalism shows, Eli's show is fun, high energy, and engaging!

Q. Is Mentalism supernatural/dark?

A. This is definitely a fair question, with a short answer. No! Eli's mentalism is not in any way supernatural. Eli divines thoughts through natural means in a light and inviting atmosphere. His performance is for the sole purpose of entertaining your audience. Mentalism, though, unlike traditional magic tricks, uses elements of real psychology, schema recognition, persuasion, muscle reading, and hypnosis.

You’ve seen mind readers from the hit CBS show “The Mentalist” on TV- now experience what it feels like in person, performed LIVE at your event. Imagine meeting face-to-face with someone who has the apparent abilities to connect with your thoughts or those of your guests. Yes of course this isn’t Psychic – yet somehow there are no obvious explanations or even clues.

An easy way to distinguish Mentalism from Magic is that Mentalism is Psychic entertainment-WITHOUT the Psychic.

Additional booking notes

Eli is very flexible. His stage show is best seen from a raised platform, but he is very adaptable. All he asks is a minimum of 8'X10' performing area. Eli will bring his own custom backdrop to the even(ceiling permitting) and also his own sound system if needed by the venue. The show features music and lots of audiences participation, so extra microphones are brought by Eli for use by members of the audience as they become part of the show! Eli can perform in 98 percent of performing environments, no matter how big or small(from theatre stages to living rooms), so do not hesitate to ask if you have an exceptionally small venue, Eli would love performing in your space!
